4: Peripheral Use
You can remove the cover using the following information:
1. Grasp the plastic cover close to the right edge (where the door attaches to the
bracket).
2. Pull outward and downward on the door and the cover detaches from the bracket.
To reinstall the door:
1. Seat the lower ball in the hole in the bottom of the bracket.
2. Push the upper ball forward until it snaps into the hole on the top of the bracket.
Hot-swap Drive Use
If your SGI 1200 server has a RAID controller, it is essential to keep the following
warnings in mind as you begin using the hot-swap drives.
Caution: NEVER remove a hot-swap drive while the array is being rebuilt. The amber
global failure LED on the front panel blinks very slowly while the array rebuilds, so do
not remove a drive until the array is finished rebuilding. Never remove more than one
hard drive carrier from the SGI 1200 server at a time. All RAID levels fail when more than
one hard drive is removed from the chassis. Also, do not operate your SGI 1200 for
extended periods without having all drive bays filled with either devices or a filler drive
blank.
If your SGI 1200 server does not have a RAID controller, the hot- swap drives function
as removable drives only. Data is not protected if a hard drive crash occurs.
Use Figure 4-2 to correlate removable hard drives with their SCSI bay locations.
